Creative Inventory Filter

I've seen many suggestions for a creative sort, and while I am all in favour, I also think there should be a simple filtering system. What I have in mind would allow you to only show blocks that have certain tags, probably only 3 per item. Putting a block in the filter slot will show it's tags and allow you to toggle them.

For Example, if you were to put an acacia plank in the filter, it would have the categories of wood, acacia, planks
With all on, all wood types would be visible
With wood off, all acacia blocks and all planks would be visible
With wood and planks off, only acacia type blocks would be visible

This would also stay if you closed the menu so you can easily get back to your filter if you find you missed a block or something. This would be especially useful when building with items near the bottom of the main inventory.I think this fits in vanilla and would be a large improvement. My biggest concern would be with the item catagories, as designing good catagories would take a large amount of time, and there are always blocks that don't fit neatly into any category.

  Those tags would also be useful for the clone and fill command, being able to simply say "ore" instead of listing each individual name

  I like this idea. Every block should have several tags that could be searched.
  
  Types of tags that I would myself use
  - Color (search for example "red" and you would get all  red blocks.
  - Type (search for example "stone" or "plants" and you would get all that type of blocks.)
